In the summer of 2014, Skoltech initiated the formation of a consortium in the field of oil and gas technologies jointly with Moscow Institute of Physics and Technology, Moscow State University, Gubkin Russian State University of Oil and Gas and supported by industrial partner OJSC “Gazprom Neft.” This consortium received a grant for the next 3 years (announced 15 September 2014) from the Federal budget as part of the Federal Target Program “Research and development in priority areas of scientific and technological complex of Russia for 2014-2020.”
The title of the project : “The comprehensive study of the Bazhenov Formation” – a group of non-conventional oil-containing rock formations that was revealed in an area of about one million square kilometers in Western Siberia.
The project will be implemented by the Center for Hydrocarbon Recovery jointly with the project partners.
